Why can targeted advertising be smart enough to show me ads at home for something I searched on my PC at work, but not smart enough to not show me the same ad 10x in a row or for services for which I’ve already subscribed?

They don’t know you already have it. They have access to a lot of information, but not details like whether you already have or use a product. I often get league of legends ads when watching league of legends videos, they don’t know that I already play because that is not something they account for, they just know I fit the demographic.
